Welcome to Elderfield

Welcome to Elderfield is a horror RPG about building a life in a town where the abnormal is ordinary. The townsfolk are strange, eldritch beings watch over the area, and local news reports grow increasingly unusual. Its hand-drawn visuals draw on horror manga, accompanied by dark lofi music composed by Dated. Those who come to Elderfield rarely find a reason—or an option—to leave.

Life in Elderfield

Customize your character and home, investigate daily mysteries, and build relationships with the townsfolk; you can even marry one of them. You can also fish, mine, and forage in the surrounding wilds. Choose a difficulty: cozy mode offers a more laid-back experience focused on harvesting and discovery, while the Old Gods await those seeking a challenge.

Farm and gather

Cultivate land, grow crops, harvest them, and keep unruly tentacles from spreading. Raise strange, otherworldly livestock and grow useful crops such as corn, pumpkins, teeth and eyeballs. Gather resources by mining and foraging, while watching for beings from the woods that might wander onto your farm.

Turn-based combat

Encounters with ancient Lovecraftian horrors use a deep, turn-based combat system. You must make use of gathered resources, strategic buffs and varied equipment to survive. The game frames its cycle as dying, learning, farming and foraging before facing another defeat.
